Where in the World? is our new occasional
series in which Adam, The Daily Constitutional’s Editor is logging the
locations of his London Walkers.
“We meet people from all over the world, and I thought it would be fun to map them out to create a picture of where our London Walkers (and Daily Constitutionalists) come from.
We’ll be breaking it down by English and Welsh counties, Scottish regions, Irish provinces, U.S States, Canadian provinces, Australian states, European, Asian, African and South American countries.”
Thanks to everyone who joined me on a lovely spring day in Kensington! Visitors from home and abroad allow us to splash more color on our Where In the World? map…
A big “Hello!” to the gals from Delta Airlines flying out of Atlanta, Georgia. Part of our extended “marketing department” they’re London Walks “repeat offenders” and have been kind enough to spread the word about our London Walks to anyone who will listen. Thanks guys, it was a pleasure to be in your company.
And our first blob on the map of England comes courtesy of the London Walker from Shipley in West Yorkshire. This was his first London Walk – welcome aboard!
